A perfect 10.0 balance beam mark and using the nation’s top total of the weekend for her fourth consecutive all-around win gave sophomore Bridget Sloan her fourth straight SEC Gymnast of the Week honor. LSU’s Sarie Morrison and Alabama’s Kim Jacob shared the SEC Specialist of the Week and LSU’s Ashleigh Gnat is the SEC Freshman of the Week.

Sloan’s winning total of 39.675 topped the nation’s all-around competitors last weekend. Each of her four winning all-around marks this season rank as the nation’s top three totals of 2014 (39.75/Jan. 31; 39.70/Jan. 17 & 24; 39.675/Feb. 7).
